Gary "Black Hole" Neal

[pgardn]

imo he is very strong and uses his body incredibly well on his shot. His jump shot is a classic. He has so much confidence in his ability he can make the Spurs turn into a bit of a wild team. I like him paired with Manu as Ginobili can take over the tougher dribbling duties.

That being said he can be given bringing the ball up the court and setting up. His defense is truly atrocious as well. He is beat off the first step consistently and allows penetration when we have a team on the ropes during the last moments of a possession. If the playoff refs reward stay in front D by allowing more hacking, and punish getting beat by calling it very close on touch fouls from behind, Neal is in trouble.

He is playing an important role as a backup, and I dont know if it is a recognized role but it is basically as follows:

He bales out the team when the shot clock runs down and we need a shot. He is a threat in the last 6 seconds of a possession with or without the ball. His range is unlimited and he can hit off balance driving shots. If a possession turns ragged and is dying, I like Neal to be present.

Spanoulis is better than anyone on the Spurs team.

... sweet Jesus...

I'm tired of the comparisons to RMJ. RMJ was just a weak minded basketball player.

Spanoulis is better than anyone on the Spurs team.

Oh, for the love of God.

Mike D'Antoni, Doug Collins, Nate McMillan, Coach K.........they all rated Spanoulis as one of the top 5 players in the world.

The Spurs current roster lacks one of those.

You mean "just run out of town" D'Antoni, barely might make the playoffs Collins and "also run out of town" McMillan?

True judges of greatness.

Tiago Splitter is better than Spanoulis. Tiago is playing for the West leading NBA team, not some wannabe European got squad.

Spanoulis is better than anyone on the Spurs team.

Want to make a bet? I will bet that James Anderson gets a second NBA contract and that Spanoulis never does.

Spanoulis' NBA career is as dead as all the dead cats that wash up on the surf near Athens.

You just earned another .




There's nothing in the stats you provided that suggest that Jeff Foster is in any way better than Splitter.
